This 2-cylinder engine features Yamaha's Crossplane Concept 270 degree crank that provides linear torque development in response to the rider's throttle input. The CP2 engine is also light, slim and compact and offers an excellent level of rider/machine communication.

Compact Frame Design

A lightweight diamond-type high tensile steel frame provides an optimized rigidity balance for light, agile handling and stability. The engine is a stressed member of the chassis, allowing a lighter, more compact main frame design.

Sporty Chassis Dimensions

The wheelbase, seat height, fuel tank width, rake and other dimensions are all set to work with the qualities of the compact twin-cylinder engine to achieve a sporty, light and neutral handling character.
